Just up ahead

Kazuha and Ran had made it passed several doors, unnoticed. They were by now closer than ever to reaching the location point on the DS Transmitter, and their hearts were pounding harder each footstep closer. A black door stopped the girls, Ran put the DS away, "This is it...that's the door"

Kazuha was the first to take a step closer. Her hand reached for the knob slowly. The metal was cold and it sent shivers down her spine. She took a deep breath and turned it,
Heiji...

Darkness everywhere. It was what they had least expected it to be, there was a long staircase leading down. They took their first steps down, only to see empty crate boxes laying around. The room had to be not much bigger than a basement.

"Shinichi? Shiniichi?" Ran whispered out, listening for any reply

Kazuha grabbed her, making Ran stop in her tracks. "Listen" they stood still, trying to make out any noise inside the dark room. After a few seconds went by, a sound was heard. Ran gasped as she realized it was a groan, it was faintly heard, but it was there.

They ran straight towards the middle of the room where the sound was heard.

Two figures were recognized as they moved in closer. "Heiji!" "Shinichi!"

Kazuha bent down to her knees, gently lifting Heiji's injured face. It horrified her as she ran her fingers across the scratches and bruises. "...Heiji?" Her eyes teared up, as she placed her fingers on one side of his neck. She let out a huge sigh of relief as she felt a pulse. "He's okay Ran...he's okay"

Ran smiled as Shinichi's eyes slowly opened. "Thank god you're alive!"

Shinichi blinked twice as he realized who was in front of him, "...Ran? Wh-what are you doing here?" she started crying as she wrapped her arms around him, "I thought I'd lost you, don't ever scare me like that!"

But Shinichi was still shocked at how Kazuha and her found them.

While Ran explained the long details to him, Kazuha was trying to wake Heiji up.

"Heiji, please wake up" her voice said softly

She held in her breath as he slowly stirred, then finally his green eyes matched hers "Ka-Kazuha?"

"Ahou! Do you know how scared I was!" and like Ran, she too wrapped her arms around him, but Heiji flinched at her touch, "Ow ow ow!"

She instantly let go, "Sorry" Heiji chuckled at her worried face, "Don't worry, I'll be fine"

The girls untangled the ropes, letting their hands free. "So can someone tell me what's going on? And how did you find us!" Heiji asked while rubbing his hands. Ran took out the DS Transmitter, and held in a laugh as she saw Shinichi's eyes go wide.

"When you guys never showed up after two days, we went searching. We told Dr. Agasa and Ai that you were gone and she told us that probably you were taken and then showed us the transmitter she said she left on you"

Shinichi tensed up, " they just let you guys try to find us alone!"

"Hehe weeeeeell, not exactly" Kazuha said sheepishly

Heiji burst out laughing, "They don't know do they? Gotta hand it to you 'Zuha, didn't think you had it in ya" he said with a wink that made her go scarlet red

"It was Ran's idea to sneak into Shinichi's house"

They boys looked at Ran, "What? They wouldn't let us go find you" she crossed her arms, "Besides, we wouldn't have found you if it wasn't for Kazuha" everyone turned to her, "Yeah, she was the one who got us out unnoticed, the one who figured out you guys were probably in this old bookstore instead of the store next to us, saying that you guys were probably hidden where there's less people, AND found the secret entrance inside the bookstore by seeing a pile of books that weren't dusty like the rest and so deducing there must be a reason" Ran folded her arms "Looks like your detective skills rubbed off on her Heiji"

Heiji looked at Kazuha with a small smile, "Who would of known?" he whispered as Kazuha and him shared a small moment looking into each other's eyes.

But the moment ended as Shinchi cleared his throat, "Well how about we get out of here first before they come back" Everyone agreed.

Heiji winced in pain as he tried getting up and was about to fall if not for Kazuha. She got one of his arms around her as she placed her arm under his, letting him use her weight for support. "Thanks" to which she nodded

They climbed back up the stairs and started walking before Kazuha stopped them, "Wait! The cameras Ran!"

Ran quickly got out the device and turned it on, "What cameras?" Heiji asked

"Kazuha found these cameras at Dr. Agasa's lab and decided to place them so we can check in anyone is coming our way"

She flipped through the different areas, "It's clear, let's go"

They were able to walk ahead for ten minutes before a cold voice called out to them, "Not so fast ladies"

Two men appeared with a gun pointed at them.

Heiji and Shinichi's heart froze.

"Well, I have to be honest, I'm pretty surprise you two made it this far girls"

"Leave them alone" Shinichi replied

"Wait, you were expecting us?" Ran asked, Gin let out a laugh as Vodka talked, "Well of course, we had placed a camera at the Kudo's residence and saw you two" he then smiled, "Never did we think you'd come for them, but then again you would never leave your boyfriends behind. Which was good for us because it made our plans even more interesting"

"Your problems are with us, leave them out of this" Heiji growled

Gin went up to him, "You never know when to shut up do you?" as he placed the gun on his forehead

"Don't! Please!" Kazuha yelled

Vodka signaled him to stop, "Now aren't you sweet? Now tell me, would you be willing to risk your own life to save his?"

"What?" Heiji asked but was cut off by Kazuha's stern voice, "Without hesitation"

"Interesting...and what about you?"

Ran nodded, "Yes"

"Well then, Gin, would you like to take them instead? I'm sure I would-"

"Leave them alone!" Heiji and Shinchi yelled in unison as they pulled the girls behind them, protecting them.

Gin and Vodka chuckled softly, "Well see I really don't think it's up to you to make that decision now is it?"

Kazuha stepped forward before being grabbed by Heiji, "Dammit Kazuha, what do you think you're doing?" She turned to him, "Like I said, I'd rather it be me than you" Caught off guard, Heiji was left speechless, but recovered as soon as he saw her turn. "Ahou! You don't know who they are!"

"They're the Black Organization that Shinichi had to hide from aren't they?" She replied coldly

Shinichi looked at Ran, "Y-You know?"

Tears ran down her face, "Dr. Agasa told us about them and said you had to hide but..." her head went down and whispered, "but you never left did you? You were Conan all along am I right?" Kazuha and Heiji looked at Shinichi for an answer, but nothing came out.

Ran looked up, red eyed and with a small smile, "I forgive you"

Shinichi let out a sigh of relief, but then looked serious, "I am not letting you do this Ran"

"Too bad, she already made her decision boy" Gin said, which earned him a glare from Kudo

"First let them go" Kazuha said

"Oh we will, but first we'll just have to make sure they don't just come running back" Vodka said as Gin and he punched the boys in their stomachs

"What are you doing!" Ran yelled

"Oh don't worry, just giving them a goodbye present" he said as they tied the boys hands once again, who were now gasping for air. "Let's go" Heiji and Shinichi stood up as they were led towards the exit, the girls following behind.

"Well there you have it, they're free. Now if you girls would kindly enter the vehicle here" A black car was parked outside, the back seat door opened for them.

Hesitating, Ran and Kazuha looked at the boys who were yelling at them, "Don't do this!"

"C-Can we just say goodbye, one last time?" Kazuha asked

"Make it quick"

Ran rushed over to Shinichi, "Ran don't...please" he begged but she just shook her head, "I'm sorry" she whispered as tears ran down her face as she pulled him in for a kiss to which he responded to.

Kazuha hugged Heiji, "Ahou, why are you doing this?" She too was in tears. When she pulled back she sighed, "Because you'd do the same for me"

"But then you'll die if you go!" He choked out

She caressed his face with one hand, "But I can't let you die..."

She wiped the falling tears off his face before she kissed him on the cheek.

"Okay let's go" Gin grabbed the girls as he led them towards the car.

Shinichi and Heiji looked at each other, panic in their eyes. "Wait Kazuha!" Heiji yelled as he tried getting up. He had to stop her, tell her how he feels about her before it was too late. The car was already driving away though and he wasn't fast enough to reach her.

"Kazuha!"

"Hattori!" Shinichi yelled at him, Heiji turned and saw that he had freed his hands with a broken glass. Shinichi ran up to him and freed Heiji's hands as they both started running towards the distant car.

Suddenly, the black car was drowned in a huge blaze of fire. The impact was so huge that it sent the guys flying to the ground.

They looked up...

"KAZUHA!"

"RAN!"
